I’m about halfway through ‘The Tomb,’ the first Repairman Jack book. I knew it was written in 1984, so I couldn’t understand references to I-Pods, CD players, and a 6-foot flat-screen. When I looked closer, I found I had the ‘Author’s Definitive Version’, rewritten in 2004 and originally re-released, titled Rashoki. 😯

Had the opposite experience as a spectator at my first proper football/soccer match – realised my daughter and I were the only ones in the entire away-supporters’ stand holding on the last note of one of the (relatively clean) chants, like we were in the church choir.
Lovely story!

Great title, great story! I loved it! I may also have been a suspiciously silent player of the synthetic tuba on the keyboard at a one week summer camp where I didn’t know I was going to be in a band concert…my volume was turned all the way down.
